We present the first systematic evaluation of the data terms for multi-frame super-resolution within a variational model. The various data terms are derived by permuting the order of the blur-, downsample-, and warp-operators in the image acquisition model. This yields six different basic models. Our experiments using synthetic images with known ground truth show that two models are preferable:...

The generation of short pulses of ion beams through the interaction of an intense laser with a plasma sheath offers the possibility of compact and cheaper ion sources for many applications; from fast ignition and radiography of dense targets to hadron therapy and injection into conventional accelerators. To enable the efficient analysis of large-scale, high-fidelity particle accelerator simulat...

Abstract The Alcubierre warp drive is an exotic solution in general relativity. It allows for superluminal travel at the cost of enormous amounts matter with negative mass density. For this reason, has been widely considered unphysical. In study, we develop a model spacetime classical relativity that encloses all existing definitions and new metrics without most serious issues present solution....

Commonly used in telecommunication, automotive and biomedical applications, microelectromechanical systems have limited successful commercial applications in other industries. This report briefly reviews MEMS, with a focus on sensors, and their limitations in the textile environment, as well as, outlines four potential projects for MEMS applications in textiles. One application was selected; mo...

This article provides a knitting method for warp-knitted fabrics with good moisture management performance. By adjusting of the warp machine (mainly bar), design lay-up yarn, selection and let-off tension, yarn covering relationship has been adjusted. using two kinds fineness polyester DTY, cotton spandex, designing warp-knitting structures, six different have knitted. The performance these kni...

In this note we consider compactifications ofM-theory on Spin(7)-holonomy manifolds to three-dimensional Minkowski space. In these compactifications a warp factor is included. The conditions for unbroken N = 1 supersymmetry give rise to determining equations for the 4-form field strength in terms of the warp factor and the self-dual 4-form of the internal manifold.

The WARP[1] code is being developed and applied to simulate the creation and propagation of the high-current, space-charge dominated beams that are required for heavyion driven fusion energy (HIF). New methods and capabilities have recently been introduced into WARP, a multidimensional particle-in-cell code developed for the study of space-charge dominated beams. We describe: (a) a 2D3V “slice”...

Recent ideas for the origin and persistence of the warps commonly observed in disc galaxies have focused on cosmic infall. We present N -body simulations of an idealized form of cosmic infall onto a disc galaxy and obtain a warp that closely resembles those observed. The inner disc tilts remarkably rigidly, indicating strong cohesion due to self-gravity. The line of nodes of the warp inside R26...

The shear-warp algorithm for volume rendering is among the fastest volume rendering algorithms. It is an object-order algorithm, based on the idea of the factorization of the view matrix into a 3D shear and a 2D warp component. Thus, the compositing can be done in sheared object space, which allows the algorithm to take advantage of data locality. Although the idea of a perspective projection s...
